A tasty twist on my biscuit recipe for your Sunday morning breakfasts. Delicious along side a fried egg and some hash browns or grits.
Ingredients:
- 2 cups flour
- 2 tsp of baking powder
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter
- 6 slices bacon, cooked and chopped
- 1 cup cheddar cheese, grated
- 2 tbsp chives
- 3/4 cup of buttermilk
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Mix all the dry ingredients together. Cut the butter into pieces, and work into the flour mixture with a pastry cutter until it resembles pea-sized crumbs. Stir in bacon and cheese and add the liquid and mix/knead in bowl until dough forms, kneading as little as possible. Turn out dough out on a floured surface and pat out to 3/4” thick. Using a round cutter or glass cut out your biscuits out, don’t twist the dough. Place on a greased baking sheet close together but not touching and bake for 15 minutes or until the tops are slightly brown.
Makes 8 biscuits.
